How COVID-19 is affecting society

Hell NO! We won't go!

That was a youth movement. They're not going anywhere.

It should be old people burning their draft cards. I know, irony.

I got off the bus today (where masks are required). As I waited to cross the street some guy yelled at me from his car, "Why are you wearing a mask? You fucker!". Go to an anger management class asshole.

Vaccination rate here is pretty good, and we are at “green” level, but everyone still wears masks in stores. At least everywhere I’ve gone. Lots of crowds during sports events and such (outside) not so much.

Vaccination rate in my area is maybe 40 percent, but 90 percent of everyone is walking around in public unmasked. And the Delta variant has shown itself.

Do you mean walking around like on the sidewalk, or in places of business?

I don’t think many people here ever wore masks outside even during the worst part of it all, except on crowded downtown (narrow) sidewalks and such, which is why many popular shopping areas have been closed to traffic to let Pedestrians use the street.

Both. I wouldn't expect much mask-wearing outside, but I was at Walmart yesterday, and saw maybe a half-dozen people the whole time I was in there wearing masks. And it was packed. I pretty much grabbed what I needed and got the hell out of there fast.

Portland lifted all mask requirements last week except for medical and transportation settings. I'd say around half the people I saw in the local Safeway supermarket were wearing masks.

In California, unvaccinated people are supposed to be masked indoors in public. But I live smack in the middle of Trump country. Figure the odds.

You're not alone over there - we have our own problems too - Brighton vaccine centre forced to cancel jabs after anti-lockdown protest involving Piers Corbyn, led by the brother of our opposition party's last leader.

I'm in Houston and most people are still wearing masks in grocery stores.

"Why are you wearing a mask?

My answer: "To protect myself from morons like you."

I kept it short and gave him the finger.

They all burned theirs in the 60s. The rest of us burned them in the 70s. Can't burn what has already been burnt decades ago.

The state mandates were lifted on July 1.

I'm not sure if you're arguing with me, or the image you posted.

Not arguing.

The image was just another one of my lead balloons.

Poop Transplant for Treatment of COVID-19 - MEDizzy Journal

Poop transplant, also called Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT), has recently gained attention for its ability to treat a wide range of diseases. Although it’s first-line therapy for Clostridioides difficile infection, it has also shown promising results for patients with advanced melanoma and Auto-Brewery Syndrome (ABS). However, according to a letter published in the journal Gut, a poop transplant may also help treat COVID-19 infections.


The procedure involves the selection of a closely related, healthy donor. Faecal matter from the donor’s colon is then taken and turned into a liquid mixture. The suspension is then transferred into the patient’s colon via nasogastric and nasoduodenal tubes, or as a retention enema. The aim of the transplant is to restore the gut microbiome and in turn boost the body’s immune system.


In the online letter, the authors describe the case of two patients with COVID-19 who received a poop transplant primarily to treat C difficile infection.

OK, yeah, longer than last week. Most days I never leave the apartment. Time flies.
